EASY LEMON BREAD

This amazing recipe for Easy Lemon Bread only calls for five ingredients! The consistency is perfect and the lemon flavor is incredible in this easy quick bread recipe.

I know some of you are going to look at the ingredients and realized that there is a cake mix listed. Wait a second, is this cake or bread? Yes, there is cake mix and pudding in the recipe, so the bread ends up being pretty sweet and a little bit cake-like. But let’s be honest. Aren’t most quick breads pretty much like cake anyways? Banana bread, zucchini bread….all of these recipes are a little bit more like dessert than bread, but hey, if you put it in a loaf pan, you can call it bread. And doesn’t it just make you feel better to say that you ate 5 slices of bread than half of a cake? If it’s bread, you can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner and not feel bad about it. Sounds good to me!

The recipe also calls for vegetable oil, but I actually usually use coconut oil (melted of course!) because it adds a lighter taste to the bread, plus as you can see, I’m all about making my “bread” as healthy as possible. Cue the cake mix and the lemon pudding. Both of these ingredients add the perfect amount of lemon flavor and they just make this recipe so easy to make!

You can make a powdered sugar glaze if you want, but I actually prefer this bread without it. The bread is sweet enough without it and I like not having sticky fingers – it makes it easier to sneak bites without any evidence! My kids devour this every time I make it and it’s the perfect treat for lunches or after school.

You can no longer get Duncan Heinz Lemon Supreme 16.5oz. They have lessened it to 15.25oz. I make this particular recipe very often and was concerned about the amount of ingredients being Duncan Heinz reduced the volume of cake mix but I still get an awesome cake using the same ingredients.
